Loop Tack Cheminstruments LT-2000

Description Cheminstruments LT-2000

Quickly and efficiently determine the tack or “grab” of an adhesive with the ChemInstruments Loop Tack Tester. This compact tack testing machine meets PSTC, ASTM and TLMI specifications. Simple to operate, it can be used stand-alone or connected to EZ Data Lab Management software.

Machine Details

• Rugged construction, capable of withstanding the abuse of the production environment
• Digital speed and distance control
• Automated test sequence
• Easy sample setup using a removable grip makes testing quick and consistent
• Capable of performing 5 inch or 7 inch loop tests
• Test Methods – D6195, FTM9, or custom test methods with either 5 or 7 inch loops
• Selectable speed range from 6 to 30 ipm (150 – 762 mm/min) for custom test methods.  Increment value is 1 ipm or 1 mm/min.
• Selectable dwell time from 0 to 30 seconds (in increments of 1 second) for all other test methods
• 10 pound load cell is included with the machine (2 and 5 pound load cells are optional)
• Designed to use 1×3 or 1×6 inch panels up to .25 inch thick
• Accurate to ± 0.1% of load cell range
• Operating temperature range 32° – 150° F (0° – 70° C)
• Capable of stand-alone operation with integrated touch display
• Data can be downloaded to EZ Data software for complete data management
• 5.7 inch touch screen display
• Universal input voltage from 85-265 VAC(50/60Hz)

Data Acquisition System

• The ChemInstruments electronic data acquisition system is a state-of-the-art microprocessor controlled force measurement package that combines accuracy with ease of use. This system simultaneously controls test motion, reads the force of a test from a load cell, digitally displays it and also stores that data in its memory.
• Samples at 400Hz, 8 samples are collected, averaged and stored as a data point. A test will generate a data point every 20ms
• Displays a graph of all measured force values upon completion of a test
• Displays the high and low measured force results immediately upon completion of a test
• Export data by USB connection to a local PC with our EZ Data software
• Displays test values in grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds or Newtons
